Taking service trade as the leading factor is in line with the general trend of economic globalization. The rapid growth of global service trade has not only become an important driving force for the development of global trade, but has also become the focus of bilateral and multilateral trade and investment agreements.

10. Take advantage of the innovation and development of service trade to form distinctive features and outstanding advantages of Hainan Free Trade Port
The innovative development of service trade is a distinctive feature of Hainan. This is not only in line with the country’s strategic needs, but also a realistic choice for Hainan to achieve leap-forward development in this island economy.
Hainan is fully qualified to launch major measures in the opening up of the service industry market and the innovation of service trade to form a unique advantage. In 2017, the service industry in Hainan accounted for 55.7%, which was 4.1% higher than the national average. The contribution rate of Hainan’s service industry to economic growth was 79.5%, which was 20.7 percentage points higher than the national average. Hainan has great potential for developing service trade.
Hainan should accelerate its bold breakthrough in the development of service trade. Learn from the mature practices of international free trade ports, as long as the development trend in Hainan can be explored boldly.
11. Accelerate the major breakthrough in the full openness of the service industry market
Achieve major breakthroughs in the construction of international tourism and consumption centers. The key to building an “internationally-influential international tourism and consumption center” is to accelerate the full opening of the service market and provide internationalized products and international standard services. It is proposed to join hands with Hong Kong to build a tax-free shopping chain and improve the service level and management capabilities of international tourism and consumption centers.

In accordance with the requirements of the innovation and development of service trade, the overall framework and implementation rules for designing negative checklists shall be studied in accordance with international standards. In contrast with the negative list management models such as the Hong Kong and Singapore Free Trade Ports, the TPP, and the US-Korea Free Trade Agreement, the focus is on the full opening of the service industry market and the innovation of service trade, following the “Minimal Version, Extended Architecture, High Transparency, and Operationality”. The direction of reform is to explore the construction of a foreign investment management model of “pre-access national treatment + minimalist negative list + post-access national treatment” and create a new open highland with service trade as its focus.
Increase the “controllable” institutional arrangements. Hainan is an independent geographical unit and it is easier to manage and control risks. Even if there are certain risks, it will be difficult to create a large risk spillover effect on the national economy and it will not affect the overall situation. While accelerating the opening up, Hainan needs to take the lead in adopting modernized supervisory tools and risk prevention and control systems such as advanced information technology and information platforms, and establish a strict and effective supervision system.

With reference to the experiences of Hong Kong and Singapore, we will fully implement the enterprise’s self-registration system as soon as possible, fully promote the legal person’s commitment system, fully implement the enterprise’s simple cancellation system, and expand the autonomy of enterprises.
Introduce international standard service agencies. In line with the standard international free trade ports, the world’s leading accounting firms, law firms, consulting companies and other agencies have been stationed in Hainan to better provide domestic and foreign companies with high standards, high quality, and international services.

According to “a major city in the entire island” to speed up the adjustment of administrative divisions. A regional center city of East, West, South, North, and China will be formed across the island to enhance the comprehensive utilization benefits of land, tourism, and other important resources throughout the island. This matter should not be slow.
Innovate the system and mechanism for the integration of urban and rural development. Hainan has the conditions to lead the country in the integration of urban and rural development and rural rejuvenation. Hainan has the conditions to take the lead to cancel the urban and rural dual household registration system, implement a unified residence permit management system in the province, and take the lead in establishing a unified urban and rural construction land market, giving farmers more property rights.
16. Deepening the reform of the administrative system guided by the “small government, big market”

To carry out trials of international talent management reform. Foreign and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan technical and technical personnel are allowed to work and permanent residence in Hainan; a more relaxed and convenient work visa system is implemented.

The use of statutory bodies attracts talents, and legally empowers the statutory bodies to set up the right to establish institutions, employ talents, and formulate the right to pay, and gives employers greater autonomy in employing statutory bodies.
However, seeking for the location and the use of it does not require all of them to accelerate the attraction of international high-end educational and scientific research institutions to Hainan. All international and domestic key scientific research and educational institutions are stationed in Hainan and enjoy the same policy treatment as local similar institutions. The new campuses of certain universities in Hainan are handed over to famous universities at home and abroad.
Top-level design and coordination at the top
18. Accelerating the establishment of a coordination mechanism for the Hainan Free Trade Port at the central level
Establish an overall coordination mechanism at the central level as soon as possible. In accordance with the requirements of “Central Coordinating, Sector Support, and Grasping Implementation,” the Hainan Free Trade Port construction process will be promoted and breakthroughs will be made as soon as possible.
